Dog registration discounts

There is a range of discounts available for dog registration fees, detailed above. When applying for a discount, evidence will be required to gain the discount. This includes:

Proof of microchipping.

Desexing.

Training from an accredited organisation. A certificate or letter is required from the training provider showing the dog has successfully achieved automatic sit, stand, drop, stay, left and right about turns and basic recall.

Proof if the dog is a guide, assistance or therapeutic dog.

Any concessions the dog owner holds.

To qualify for a Pensioner Concession, one of the following cards in the name of the person registering the dog, must be presented at the time of payment of registration (whether it is a renewal or a new registration).

Dog registration renewals

Dog registration renewal notices are sent out each year as dog registrations expire on 30 June.

The registration expires at the end of each financial year and must be renewed with payment by 31 August each year, otherwise a $15.00 late fee and an expiation notice for having an unregistered dog will apply.

Please note the onus is on the owner of the dog to re-register the dog each year, regardless of whether a renewal notice was received or not. The onus is also on the owner of the dog to advise Council if the dog has moved, been sold, given away or is deceased.

Dog tags

A confirmation letter will be sent with your dog's unique tag within 5 days of receipt of your payment. Registered dogs are issued with a tag each year, which must be worn by the dog at all times to help identify the dog if it becomes lost, and to reunite it with its owner.

Phone - Phone: 8375 6600* Opening hours: 8:30am to 4:00pm Monday to Friday.* Please have your renewal notice available at the time of the call.

Mail - Cheques or Money Orders made payable to 'City of Marion' and forwarded with payment slip to: City of Marion, Locked Bag 1, Oaklands Park SA 5046* Credit card payments may be posted using the form on the reverse side of the dog renewal.* Post dated cheques will be returned unless prior arrangements have been made.

You will need to bring photo identification and any concession cards at the time of registration. You will also need to provide copies of desexing, microchipping and certified training certificates if you wish to claim a dog registration discount.
